~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This week, I think I've finally found out how I can enjoy some. First, I bought a one-pound container of Blue crab meat, seen here in the Blue container. I will state that it is expensive to buy a premium lump crab meat, but don't bother with anything else.
After removing the Blue label, I mixed the ingredients you see here. (I've given the recipe below.) Note that I used a light mayonnaise, shown here with its Blue label. My salt and pepper shakers have Blue tops.
One important ingredient that I added to the recipe was Old Bay Seasoning with Blue on its label. It adds just the right flavor. I served the crab salad on my Blue trimmed plate. I ate it with crackers. This made me happy, happy, happy. Yum!
Here's the recipe I found online:
Fresh Crab Salad with Lime Zest
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Lettuce leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the lime zest and lime juice. Gently fold in the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter or plates and mound the crab salad on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
The crab salad can be refrigerated for 4 hours. SERVINGS: 4
Happy Blue Monday!

I miss lots of seafood living in a landlocked state, Sally. Your crab salad looks so good!
Glad to hear you found a way to have blue crabs. I hope you enjoyed your crab salad. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Have a nice week.

Great recipe- happy Blue Monday!
Trust you never suffer from Winter blues!!
I notice blue on food is delicious. Thanks for the recipe Sally. Happy Monday.
I love crabs, but I prefer eating them as they are. I think the best part is the stuff in the shell, not the white meat.
Happy Blue Monday!
Delicious as our Japanese house guests I'm sure would say! This looks lovely and tasty and easy to make as well (well maybe not if I can't fine the premium Blue Crab, good job I'm soon on my way to the US might pop a can into my luggage!)

It's the Old Bay Seasoning container that really catches my eye: I love that stuff!
Happy blues to you!
The usual blue sky in my post today.
Sounds like a delicious treat, Sally!
Thanks for hosting.
I love some sea food, but not all. This sound really good and I am sure it is because it was in a blue container.Have a good week.
Great récipe dear Sally, I love crab in any shape or form! Thank you so much for hosting the BLUE Party.
Have a wonderful week.

This sounds and looks delicious! Crabs are one of my favorites, too. My grandmom makes a hot crab dip that is just amazing. Your post makes me want some. :)
Yum, sounds very good and I love crab. Hope you have a great week!
Thank you very much, very rich blues!
Whoa, glad you posted this. I did not know that Chicken of the Sea made this. It is really hard to find as you say to find any crab that tastes good. I'm off to the grocery!!

Sicher eine hervorragende Delikatesse !
Schönen Gruß,

Lots of blues to go with your recipe Sally, well done!
Yummy! I love crab, of any sort. Fun post Sally. I've gone maritime today.
If I was Smart or savvy, you know that's the pic I would have chose for your BLUE party...in fact, I took that pic thinking of BLUE Monday, my dear friend!!! Thank you so much again and have a lovely week.
Love,

I Love crab aas well as lime - thanks for the recipe!
About my entry - am on the computer of a friend, so wasn't able to put in the pic -sorry.
Sounds yummy!
This looks delicious.
I`ve never seen this before, so thank you for sharing. I`m not so into seafood, but I think the only way to get crab here is to buy them frosen, or as crabsticks.
Thank you for the nice comment at my blog :)
